Lonely Me and the Lonely Caring Goddess

Chapter 108 – Yuji and Natsumi

There were many fun things to do, like sliders, or so I thought…

“Kazunari-san, your right hand is still healing, so doing anything dangerous is forbidden.”

Indeed, it’s not entirely healed, but…

“Ah, Sara, since we’re here and all, I think something simple would be fine.”

Feeling pity for me, Natsumi-senpai followed up.

“No, that won’t do. It recovered this far; what would happen if I let my guard and it gets worse again?”

With a serious look, Sara-senpai was genuinely concerned about my right wrist.

I was such an idiot! Being carried away on the spur of the moment.

I took it lightly, even though Sara-senpai worried so much about me.

“As a side note, if it worsens, I will not compromise even further.”

What did she mean by “not compromise”…?

“I’m sorry, Sara-senpai. I’ve been indebted to you for so long, yet I got carried away.”

I felt really sorry and decided to apologize honestly.

Sara-senpai doesn’t look angry.

“I know how you feel, Kazunari-san, but if you let your guard down here, all that perseverance would have been in vain. I’m with you, so let’s both do our best.”

She encourages me by smiling like a goddess.

That’s right. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a resort pool or a public pool. As long as Sara is close by, I would be in heaven.

“Sara-senpai… thank you very much.”

“Kazunari-san…”

“Okay, enough of that! Then I’ll be going to go to the slider now. Tachibana-kun, let’s go!”

“R-Roger.”

With a disgusted look, Natsumi-senpai grabbed Yuji’s arm and pulled him away.

“How unusual… Natsumi being so open to a boy.”

Sara-senpai muttered with a slightly surprised expression.

Certainly, Natsumi-senpai has been treating Yuji casually after being introduced to each other.

Considering how we parted before, no matter how friendly Natsumi-senpai was, suddenly treating Yuji like that was…

——————————————

“Now, how should I attack.”

Saying that, Yuzuki-san pulled my arm while walking forward.

I kinda knew it, but this person really is the carefree type.

Even though this was supposed to be our first time meeting, if she went this far…

“Yuzuki-san! Those two will probably notice something strange…”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. Those two are too busy flirting, so they won’t pay attention.”

Well, if she says something like that, I guess it’s okay.

I mean.

“Umm… Yuzuki-san. I was just thinking, was it essential to hide it this much in the first place?”

Hiding that the two of us followed them that day, we could just give a proper reason.

“Of course! I’ve been pushed around a lot by those two. So I will conspire with you behind their backs and laugh at them someday.”

Then she smiled happily.

However, this might be the first time I thought I was having fun while being with a girl.

To be alone with such a beautiful woman at the pool, I’m going to take it as a perk and enjoy it.

——————————————

When we met up for lunch, Yuji looked tired.

“Yuji, you okay?”

It appeared that he had been pushed around by Natsumi-senpai, but the important thing is that Natsumi-senpai was unconcerned.

Probably because Natsumi-senpai was so athletic because of club activities.

“A-ah… it’s all right.”

“Eh~? I still have energy even though I’m a girl… Don’t tell me you’re already tired?”

A composed Natsumi-senpai, who can afford it, grins and provokes Yuji.

These two seem to get along well, after all.

Since the restaurant was self-service, we each chose a dish and put it on our individual trays.

By the way, Sara-senpai brought my portion first.

I told her that I was fine, but…

“Absolutely not.”

She said, smiling, but I could feel her anger beyond that look.

After paying the bill and taking our seats, everyone began to eat.

Speaking of which, it has been a long time since we ate out…

“Kazunari-san, how is your right wrist? Do you feel pain or discomfort? If you feel any pain, I can help you like usual.”

“Wait a minute! What do you mean by, “helping you like usual”?

Natsumi-senpai poked.

But if you ask that question, Sara-senpai will just say…

“Huh? There’s nothing unusual about it. That’s why… Kazunari-san, here, ah~n.”

*Chomp*

*Munch munch*… Oof! I did it without thinking due to habit.

“… He~e, the same as always.”

Natsumi-senpai’s stare pierces directly onto me.

Then a complex gaze from Yuji came flying in.

“Kazunari-san, do you need any help?”

“N-no, I’m fine. My wrists are alright.”

As expected, if we do the usual here, we would probably trouble Natsumi and Yuji, and we’ll get stares from many people.
